2012 Annual "To Bridge A Gap" Conference
April 2-5 in Durant, OK

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma will be hosting the 11^th Annual "To Bridge A Gap" Conference, in collaboration with the US Forest Service.  This conference is designed to strengthen Government-to-Government relationships between federal/state agencies, and federally-recognized Tribes with interests in our Forests.  The Forest Service and Tribal Governments have a desire and obligation to establish Government-to-Government relationships where there are mutual interests in managing the cultural and natural resources of the US Forests.  In November of 2009, President Obama issued a White House Memorandum on Tribal Relations.  The To Bridge A Gap Conference is a wonderful opportunity to discuss tribal relations and cultural preservation issues, and participate with others whom are dedicated to improving this relationship.
